[trouble] Email server issues? in Verizon Online DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r16858232 en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:03:30 EDT Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:03:30 EDT Re: [trouble] Email server issues? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16859352 altermatt : Bowlby4, I already mentioned that notice---it doesn't relate to SMTP, it only potentially affected POP, and it was over at 6 AM. It has nothing to do with what this thread was about, although, as I said before, perhaps the maintenance then affected SMTP, a completely different issue. If so, they should have posted it. The SMTP didn't go down until later this afternoon.

"On Thursday, September 7th, between the hours of 12:01 AM and 6:00 AM CST, Verizon will be performing maintenance on our consumer e-mail system. Some customers may be intermittently unable to receive new e-mail or read e-mail during this time frame."

I'm hoping this indicates they are on the right track. Still think they should have posted this on their mail status page with an ETA.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Figured I'd come here and see if anyone else reported it, and was getting ready to post when yours came in. SMTP is definitely down here (NY).

LogLevel 8 (0x8)
864 8:0.0 Dialog: "Error reading from network\r\n"
864 8:0.0 Dialog: "\r\n"
864 8:0.0 Dialog: "Cause: Connection closed by foreign host. (0)"

LATE NOTE: Per usual, the Verizon System Status page is not yet reporting the outage. They DO indicate that this morning (between midnite and 6 a.m.) there was a maintenance that could potentially have impacted on RECEIVING mail, but nothing about sending, and receiving works fine so far.

Once again, I find myself saying that we can understand the occasional (and short-lived) outage, but communicate with your users, Verizon. Pretending the problem doesn't exist does not make for happy customers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16858249 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:54:59 EDT [trouble] Email server issues? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16858232 NyQuil Kid : Hi there:

Just wondering if anyone was experiencing issues with sending email via outgoing.verizon.net....seems like it was timing out as of 14:51 EST (ping was good and I checked my SMTP config and no changes were made).

Just wondering...thx.
